Fitzgerald chose Nick to narrate the text because his perspective creates a multifaceted view of the world Fitzgerald portrays. He is an outsider to the wealthy materialistic world in which he lives. His similarity to Gatsby in that respect helps us gain an appreciation for Gatsby’s character, but although Nick and Gatsby are both outsiders Nick fails to fully understand Gatsby. This appreciation but lack of full understanding gives the reader a very different perspective than a narration from Gatsby’s point of view or that of anyone else in the novel. Nick is caught between the perspective of the man “looking up and wondering” (35) and the man in the party. Gatsby is neither; he holds the party but then scarcely shows up. Far from being an outsider to the world of wealth and materialism, he seems to embody it. Gatsby and Nick both disdain the world of vacuous wealth, but they do so from different perspectives. Gatsby has everything he needs to be part of it and chooses not to; Nick is caught on the edge, unsure whether or not he wants that world, but ultimately he cannot have it. If Nick is an outsider unsure about trying to become an insider, Gatsby is an insider trying, studiously, to make himself an outsider.

The emotions are based off dialogue and Gene’s own feelings. Comparatively, in The Great Gatsby the author conveys emotion by creating a certain atmosphere and putting across what others are going through by the use of appropriate imagery. Nick refers to the downfall of the Great Gatsby as “A new world, material without being real, where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air, drifted fortuitously about . . . like that ashen, fantastic figure gliding toward him through the amorphous trees.” (161). This very powerful use of imagery helps create a melancholic atmosphere to represent the struggles of the Great Gatsby at that moment in the book. Nick is not just very aware of his surroundings but the people around him and the emotions that are going through them. For example, when he reveals the interior struggles of a successful Jay Gatsby through imagery: “But his heart was in a constant, turbulent riot. The most grotesque and fantastic conceits haunted him in his bed at night. A universe of ineffable gaudiness spun itself out in his brain while the clock ticked on the washstand and the moon soaked with wet light his tangled clothes upon the floor.” (99) As a result of Fitzgerald’s use of imagery in the narrative voice Nick’s characterization is emphasized. Even if Nick does not take part in the plot he is important as through the powerful

Nick felt responsible for getting people to the funeral because no one else was interested in getting the guests or to come. He also noticed that most of the people in the town only were interested in coming to his parties and to his funeral. In addition it was upon him to choose the one person who Gatsby really wanted, Wolfshiem, as Gatsby would be seen to Nick in form of ghosts and tell him to invite people, as he does not want to go through it alone. Not only that, but also Nick thought that his death was his fault as if he would not have bought a house next to Gatsby, he would have never met Daisy and thing would have been better or worse. Also when Nick decided that Wolfsheim would be the person that would come to the funeral as he was
